Wingnut Tattoo & Piercing Studio

Went to get my naval re-pierced and out of good faith from social media, I decided to go here. They did not disappoint!! Very clean and professional place with awesome staff. Everyone was so genuine and my piercer Shane was amazing! I definitely will be coming back. 5 out of 5 stars.. highly recommend!!!

Had a Awesome experience at Wingnut everything from setting up appointment online to the friendly staff, saw Shane he was great put my mind somewhat to rest, explained everything as he was getting setup, during and afterwards. Highly, highly recommend him and his staff and his place!!!!

Nice place, first time of me getting a tattoo here, very friendly staff, not my first tattoo. Was their 1 hour total, ½ an hour included; getting the drawing, font, size perfect, signing and check marking the "paper" and laying it. Then a ½ hour of actually being inked...$200 out the door... Wow‼ Fast service for a walk in!

The tattoo I got here was affordable and looked better than my reference photo. Christoph did great!

I went in to get a nose piercing for my birthday… told me the piercing would be 45$ plus jewelry. We get in there and he talked us into getting a huge stud (probably bc it was more expensive) because he said that if i plan to put a hoop in at some point i would need a huge stud. even tho the jewelry popped into something that was the size going in not the actual piercing. It costed almost 200$… the nose stud was literally a size of an earring and looked like an earring. he gave me a piece of paper saying i can get it downsized in 30 days, so i called there asking if they can change it and they said they can so we made an appointment and drive an hour to get there just for him to tell me he couldn’t change it and was very rude about it. he said he would make a deal and change it in 4 weeks so i made an appointment and he called me and told me he didn’t say that even though he literally did and that he wasn’t changing it once again rude as ever. so i ended up going somewhere else to get it changed and they quote on quote said “we get a lot of people here from wingnut because they won’t change a piercing”. not happy with this at all. super over priced and lied about the jewelry. I would not recommend getting a nose piercing here or anything. i thought this place would have been good, turns out i should never have gone here.

I have been getting my tattoo done by Clayton. He is amazing! I love how my tattoo is turning out I could not ask for anything more. It is refreshing to have someone care about what they do. He is excited for me to come back so he can finish which makes me even more excited! I appreciate having someone passionate about what they are doing and I know he truly cares about the artwork he is putting on me. Plus he is really fun to talk to!

I can honestly say any of the negative reviews are no where near the truth I received during my experience at Wingnut. I received my piercings in St. Cloud from Justin and it was a completely professional, efficient and pleasant experience. He was very mindful of all sanitary practices and I never had to question what was happening next. The prices were completely matching the quality of care I received. I would rather have paid more for a good experience, quality jewelry, and friendly staff than have had a mediocre experience with a cheap price. You get what you pay for. Even with people coming in and out, people were still being tended to and customer service was always a priority. It's been almost a year since my piercings and I am still satisfied!

I love my piercing but I did not like my experience with the piercer. He took at least 2 minutes just trying to finish putting my jewelery in/closing the hoop. They also don't have a very big variety of jewelery, and what they do have is overpriced for what it is. I would rather drive an hour to get cute good quality jewelery for the same price as the plain hoop I got here for $150.

Response to owner: The hoop was no where near seamless, I had to go somewhere else to have it corrected as every time the hoop turned it would catch my piercing, get stuck and cause bleeding because of how awful it was closed. Regarding the price, I've been to many other professional piercers and they charged significantly less for the same quality jewelery I recieved, especially considering he didn't even close the one I received correctly which damaged the jewelery.

Just got my 2nd tattoo from Clayton; he does phenomenal work! THANK YOU!
He will make sure what you are looking for is exactly what you get, and offer his expertise advice should you have any questions; just ask him, he'll deliver.
I highly recommend Clayton if you are looking for a tattoo.

I went last week and got my nose pierced. Although Shane did a great job, I wasn’t thrilled that it cost $240 dollars. While the shop was clean, I didn’t appreciate that he wouldn’t let my friend come inside with me which was frustrating especially since she is fully vaccinated, was wearing a mask, and had already had Covid. (Prior to getting her vaccine) It made me uncomfortable to be alone in the tattoo shop with him. While the piercing was great, I definitely would not repeat.

Ladies, pls find somewhere else to go!
